OK, no fair… I’m getting all misty eyed at work. I’m supposed to be a hard-nosed emotionally detached analyst, damn you, not a sniffling mushy-hearted sap.
Thanks for sharing pix. She’s gorgeous and perfect and wonderful. You, sir, are going to be wrapped around that teensy little finger for the rest of your life.

Beautiful family, with the newest luckiest baby on earth. She will forever treasure that photo of her dad brimming over with joy.
Congratulations.

Now see what you made me do? You made me cry all over again, looking at that precious, beautiful baby girl. Happy now?
Well, that’s just a silly question – I can see how bursting with happiness you are! **TokyoWife** looks way too pretty for the day she’s had. And oh! Little baby fingers! Little baby nose! Little scrunchy baby feet! Baby baby baby!!

From one recent dad to another, congrats, man. I followed your earlier struggles while we were going through the same things, and I’m so glad that it finally happened for you too.
One thing I want to tell you, because no one told me: babies are funny. Like, really really funny. So, be prepared to laugh, often. And as a big comfy daddy-pillow, I hope you’re ready to become the family mattress.
Congratulations again. Welcome to the club of, “what did I ever do before I had her?”

CONGRATULATIONS! I wish you many many many happy times ahead. May your lives be filled with infinite love.
The world has more joy in it now than it did yesterday.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you, and for **ToykoWife**!
I can’t seem to load any of the pictures (flickr hasn’t worked for me at all the past couple of days) but I’m sure she’s absolutely beautiful! I hope I can see the pics soon!

WOW! I am usually the person saying “meh, it’s a baby, newborns are ugly.” Hell, I admit my son looked like the Grinch when he was born, but that is one cute baby! She has great, alert eyes. You’d better watch her closely! Congrats, **TokyoDad**!
